Full Discussion: Auto Complete under AIX
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Auto Complete under AIX Post 8360 by rwb1959 on Wednesday 10th of October 2001 01:11:54 PM
Old 10-10-2001
Since I "grew up" without BASH and the benifits of
"auto-complete", I don't use it when using bash.
However, ksh fully supports history and using your
favorite editor (vi or emacs) for the command line
interface and browsing through your command history...

# from .profile file
export HISTSIZE=100
export EDITOR=vi

...give me a history of my last 100 commands (lines)
and allows me to use a vi like interface. For instance,
I ran a telnet command earlier with an IP address.
I want to get to that system again.
At the command line I press Esc then /telnet
and it will search ("/") my history for "telnet".
If I ran several telnets an I don't get the one in question
then I type /Enter and it searches again.
That's just one example.

I don't know (but I have heard rumors) that auto-complete
is available on ksh now but I cannot verify or deny this Smilie

Tcl_RecordAndEval(3)					      Tcl Library Procedures					      Tcl_RecordAndEval(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tcl_RecordAndEval - save command on history list before evaluating SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h> int Tcl_RecordAndEval(interp, cmd, flags) ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command. CONST char *cmd (in) Command (or sequence of commands) to execute. int flags (in) An OR'ed combination of flag bits. TCL_NO_EVAL means record the command but don't evaluate it. TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL means evaluate the command at global level instead of the current stack level. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tcl_RecordAndEval is invoked to record a command as an event on the history list and then execute it using Tcl_Eval (or Tcl_GlobalEval if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set in flags). It returns a completion code such as TCL_OK just like Tcl_Eval and it leaves information in the interpreter's result. If you don't want the command recorded on the history list then you should invoke Tcl_Eval instead of Tcl_RecordAn- dEval. Normally Tcl_RecordAndEval is only called with top-level commands typed by the user, since the purpose of history is to allow the user to re-issue recently-invoked commands. If the flags argument contains the TCL_NO_EVAL bit then the command is recorded without being evaluated. Note that Tcl_RecordAndEval has been largely replaced by the object-based procedure Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj. That object-based procedure records and optionally executes a command held in a Tcl object instead of a string. SEE ALSO
Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj KEYWORDS
command, event, execute, history, interpreter, record Tcl 7.4 Tcl_RecordAndEval(3)
